“Executive produced this project coming soon! #lifetime #mychristmasinn @lifetimetv @jackeeharry @timski67 ❤️,” Mowry captioned the post.

Mowry-Hardrict’s movie, “My Christmas Inn,” is set to premiere on Lifetime on Wednesday, Nov. 21, just in time for the holiday season. It features the mother of two playing Jen, a woman who winds up inheriting an inn in Alaska just as she’s up for a major promotion at her San Francisco ad agency. She’ll have to grapple with running the quaint inn with a handsome local attorney, whom she just might fall for.

It’s not clear who Harry and Reid are playing just yet, but the involvement of Mowry-Hardrict’s former TV adoptive mom and the TV dad of her long-lost twin sister has fans giddy.

“Nice to see you guys brought back memories.”

“All of you look fantastic! Would love to see all of you together !!!❤️❤️❤️”

“YES!!! I’m excited. WHOOT! WHOOT”

“OMG!! I’m SOO STOKED!!!”

And several followers called for an official “Sister, Sister” reunion.

“🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Yasssssss I SUPER Duper Excited!!! I need a Sister/Sister Reunion!! All GROWN up and Someone Married to Rodger!! ❤❤❤😍😍😍 Come thru Producers.”

“Reboot!!!!!”

“The family is back together again. Tia, Lisa and Ray. Sister Sister is it coming back?”

“Reboot….#sistersister♥️♥️♥️”

Talk about bringing back the beloved 1990s sitcom about twins who were separated at birth and reunited as teens after being adopted by single parents has been brewing since last year.

In November 2017, Mowry-Hardrict told Us Weekly that she and her sister, Tamera Mowry-Housley were in talks to make the revival happen.

“My sister and I are taking meetings as we speak, so it’s definitely closer than ever to making this reboot happen,” Mowry-Hardrict said. “We are being told that they want it to be or happen next year in the fall. So, it’s going by so fast, everything.”

By January, however, Mowry-Hardrict said she doesn’t have any new developments to share about a reboot.

“Hey guys! Been seeing loads of tweets about the Sister, Sister, reunion. I hate to say it, but I have no NEW news to report to you. Sis and I have been trying to get this going as we still are, BUUUT no NEW news. Trust, you will hear it from us first if it’s a solid go:) 🙏🏽,” she tweeted in January.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
